I can’t believe it! What a rare treat I had today as I drove home from school. Parked on the side of the road was an immaculate time capsule K car. The car is exactly as old as me. 27 years old with the original badly faded dealership sticker on the window. The car is from 1981 with the one year only Dodge lettering on the trunk with no pentastar. The car is a gray four door sedan with hood ornament. I did not know the hood ornament was an option in 1981. The car was perfectly straight with no dents at all. All trim and chrome was intact. The paint still had a shine, though a little faded. The interior was clean and the car had the 1981 dark blue California plate. I had never seen an 81 Aries before, at least in 2 years. Finally, the car came from the same dealership, Valley Dodge of Van Nuys, Ca., that Alan the K car came from in 1988. Alan was shipped there from Toluca, Mexico in September 1988 and purchased in February 1989. I tagged the 81 K car with a club flier and am hoping that an owner that cares that much about an 81 model might join the club.
